Gerard Granger

Gerard Granger (1914-1968) was a Democratic New Orleans city councilman during the 1960s. He was blackmailed by Marcano crime family associate Charles Rende in 1968, so he was forced to pay the family blackmail money and become one of their political allies. Lincoln Clay tailed Rende as he drove to a Downtown New Orleans parking garage, where Rende and his men met with Granger to pick up a payment. However, Clay ambushed the meeting with a stealthy grenade throw, killing all of the participants shortly after they noticed the grenade.
